Purpose, Aims and Discipline Purpose The chief purpose of Concordia College is to train young men for the ministry in the Lutheran Church. The ministerial student is required to secure the credits necessary for a high school diploma and in addition to complete two years of work in the junior college department. After his studies at Edmonton, the ministerial student proceeds to Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri, for four years of specialized theological work. Although the first purpose of the school is to train future ministers of the Lutheran Church and to prepare students for entrance into the synodical normal schools at River Forest and Seward, it welcomes also a limited number of Lutheran students who intend to prepare for other professions or who wish to obtain a high school education under Christian teachers in a Christian atmosphere. For those who wish to prepare for professions, courses are offered in Grades X, XI, and XII which prepare boys and girls for entrance into: (a) Universities (b) Provincial Normal Schools (c) Schools of Nurses’ Training Aims The school seeks at all times to give a thorough and up-to-date training in the subjects listed in its courses of studies and therefore requires competence of its teachers, effective teaching methods, and efficient work of its students. Students are encouraged and taught to do neat and accurate work and to develop methods of logical thinking and sound judgment. Teachers strive to develop in the student a desire for knowledge, to provide him with a Scriptural basis for evaluation and criticism, and to equip him with a Christian view of life. Since the school prepares the student for life, it emphasizes his responsibility to his God, to his church, to his fellow men, and to his country. Discipline All students are required to live a Christian life and to conform to the rules and regulations of the college. They are not to be made Christians, but are to be Christians when they enroll. For that reason admission is granted to such boys and girls only who can furnish written testimonials of their Christian character, and only such will be retained on the school’s roster who submit to Christian discipline and conduct them¬ selves in every way and at all tim es, whether on or off the campus, as becomes Christian young people. If in the opinion of the faculty a student’s attitude and behavior is such as to make his presence at the institution undesirable or if his class standing is unsatis¬ factory, he may, for the obvious good of the school, be dismissed even though no specific offence meriting suspension or expulsion be charged against him. In accordance with the motto of the college, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” regular church attendance is obligatory. 7
